Pyramids in China

Introduction

Early stories about the pyramids in China began right around
the Second World War. A US Air Force pilot named James Gaussman
reportedly saw a white-topped pyramid during a flight between
China and India in 1945. Walter Hain, an author and science
writer, reports in his homepages (see his article below) how
Gaussman described his first sighting of the pyramid. "I
banked to avoid a mountain and we came out over a level valley.
Directly below was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked like
something out of a fairy tale. It was encased in shimmering white.
This could have been metal, or some sort of stone. It was pure
white on all sides. The remarkable thing was the capstone, a huge
piece of jewel-like material that could have been crystal. There
was no way we could have landed, although we wanted to. We were
struck by the immensity of the thing." The story was
subsequently picked up by the New York Times, who ran a story
about the pyramid on March 28, 1947. Colonel Maurice Sheahan, Far
Eastern director of Trans World Airlines gave an interview saying
he had seen a gigantic pyramid 40 miles southwest of Xian. Two
days after the report, the same newspaper published a photo, which
was later attributed to Gaussman.

The worlds largest pyramid is rumored to be in Qin Lin county
in a 'forbidden zone' of China, estimated at nearly 1,000 ft high
and made of impounded earth and clay, and holding vast tombs. The
Chinese govt have long denied the existence of 100 or so pyramids
though the increasing tourism to the Xian tombs area (the
Terracotta Army) is threatening the secrecy with tourists climbing
the 25-100m pyramids for themselves.

The government has planted trees on them to disguise them too.
After outright denying their existence, the government finally admitted
to the existence to New Zealand author Bruce Cathie of some
'trapezoid tombs', however a fabled white pyramid 1000 ft high has
only ever been seen by a few Westerners this century. Here is an
excerpt from a book:

"I was searching for a pyramid which was said to have
been, once, many millennia ago, multicolored, and to now be a
dusty white. This was a pyramid which, legend has it, rises to
the astonishing height of 1,000 feet - four-fifths the elevation
of the Empire State Building. Not only was this extraordinary
structure said to be the largest pyramid in the world (the Giant
Pyramid of Egypt, by comparison, rises a mere 450 feet); but, in
the valleys surrounding it, there were said to be dozens of
other pyramids, some rising to an elevation almost as great.

Until recently, Chinese officials have rebuffed all
questions about these pyramids and all requests to view them.
And yet, over this century, a certain mythology has grown up
around them. An American trader, stumbling upon these amazing
structures in 1912, asked his Buddhist monk-guide about them. He
was told that 5,000-year-old monastic documents not only
contained information about these pyramids, but said the
pyramids were extremely old when these records were made.

The trader, Fred Meyer Schroder, observed several smaller
pyramids in the distance. He wrote in his travel diary that his
first sight of the giant pyramid, along with its smaller
cousins, rendered him almost speechless. "It was even more
uncanny than if we had found it in the wilderness," he
wrote. "But those [ pyra-mids) were to some extent exposed
to the eyes of the world—but still totally unknown in the
western world."

In the Far East in the spring of 1945, though Japanese
troops were still fighting in China, the U.S. Army and its
allies were well on their way to pushing the Japanese off the
mainland. One day, U.S. Air Force Pilot James Gaussman was
returning to Assam, in India, after having flown the ‘Burma
Hump’-ferried supplies to Chungking, China, from India-when
engine trouble forced him to descend temporarily to a low
altitude over China. As he later wrote:

"I flew around a mountain and then we came to a
valley. Directly below us was a gigantic white pyramid. It
looked as if it were from a fairy tale. The pyramid was draped
in shimmering white. It could have been metal, or some other
form of stone. It was white on all sides. What was most curious
about it was its capstone: a large piece of precious gem-like
material. I was deeply moved by the colossal size of the
thing."

When Gaussman arrived back in Assam, combat duties pushed
the sighting from his mind. Photographs he had taken of the
giant pyramid would not be published for another 45 years. Till
then, even his report would be buried in the Secret Service
files of the U.S. military

Two years later, in 1947, another U.S. aviator, Maurice
Sheahan—this time flying over Shaanxi Province, not far from
Xian-- caught sight of a giant pyramid in the misty landscape
below and rapidly snapped pictures. This time, several U.S.
newspapers, in-cluding the New York Times for March 28, 1947,
published accounts of the airman’s sighting. But Chinese
archaeologists con-tinued to deny the existence of such a
structure, even though Sheahan’s photographs suggested it was
higher than any pyramid in Egypt. "

Today, with help of satellite images, we can be certain
beyond any doubt that pyramids in China are real (and man-made).

Pyramids in China

A report by Walter Hain

New evidences 2009
The "White Pyramid" discovered! It is the Maoling
Mausoleum!
Original article from October 25, 2006 revised in Feb 2009

Since
many years already in the popular scientific community and in
publications there are many announcements and contentions of
gigantic pyramids in China. The puzzle around the look-up seems
final after new discoveries. With the help of Google Earth, the
objects are to be seen impressively. It can not be maintained
longer, there might be no pyramids in China.! They have four sides
and they are even square like the pyramids in Egypt and in Mexico.
Its size can quite be matched with those of the Pharaons and of the
Mexican rulers.

Already in 1912 of the two travel agents Fred Meyer Schroder and
Oscar Maman reported of a tremendous building that they had seen in
China."It was more eerie than if we had found them in the
wilderness. Here they had been under the nose of the world, but
unknown to the western countries... The big pyramid is about 1,000
feet high (other descriptions estimate 1,000 to 1,200 feet high) and
roughly 1,500 feet at the base, which makes it twice as large as any
pyramid in Egypt. The four faces of the structure are oriented with
the compass points," the two travellers reported.

During the second world war, the pilot of the American Air Force,
James Gaussman, with his co-pilot, flow - through a technical defect
at his machine -, for several times over a specific territory in
China. What he later reported sounds completely unbelievable: "I
banked to avoid a mountain and we came out over a level valley.
Directly below was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked like
something out of a fairy tale. It was encased in shimmering white.
This could have been metal, or some sort of stone. It was pure white
on all sides. The remarkable thing was the capstone, a huge piece of
jewel-like material that could have been crystal. There was no way
we could have landed, although we wanted to. We were struck by the
immensity of the thing", the pilots reported.

On
March 28, 1947 the "New York Times" reported about that
discovery. In an interview with the newspaper, the former far east
director of the Transworld Airlines, Maurice Sheahan, says he has
seen 40 miles southwest of Xian a gigantic pyramid."I was
impressed by its perfect pyramidal form and its great size,"
says Sheahan.

Later,
on March 30, 1947 the "New York Sunday Times" take over
the report and published at the first the photo, which is actually
made in 1945 by Gaussman, and that was soon forgotten.

In
1978 the New Zealand researcher Bruce L. Cathie bothered itself of a
clarification of the puzzle. According to some correspondence with
the Chinese embassy and the US air force he kept up the photo of
1947. He published the picture later in the first edition of his
book "The Bridge to Infinity" of 1983. According to the
photograph and the reports, the New Zealand researcher estimate that
the pyramid must have at their basis a length of 450 meters (1500
feet) and a height of about 300 meters (1000 feet). It is a pyramid
with four flat trapezoid shaped sides, a square plateau on the top
and a square base, like the pyramids in Egypt and in Mexico. Such
pyramids were up to now unknown to the experts in the western world
and its existence was always denied: "There are no pyramids in
China! Only pagodas - temple liked, peaked buildings", so the
opinion of the world experts.

A comparison of a former satellite image of a pyramid in Shaanxi
with the photo of 1947
found in the homepage of earthquest.co.uk of November 2001.

I came to the "white pyramid" when I already read reports
in specialized books before and then I saw the appropriate
photograph in the book "The Face on Mars" of 1989 from the
two Australian authors Brian Crowley and James J. Hurtak. Brian
Crowley then sent a copy of the image in his book to me and then I
passed it to Peter Krassa - a Austrian book author and China
researcher. Later I published it in my German book "Das
Marsgesicht" (The Face on Mars) of 1995.

I have left indeed Peter Krassa the photograph, but I wanted to
however make and therefore prove attentive, that there are in fact
pyramids in China. At the German edition "Ancient Skies",
the journal of the "Ancient Astronaut Society", no. 6,
1991, I published a short report. One did not want to however
publish the photograph of 1947. Gene Phillips, the founder of the
mentioned society, has refused a report from me in the American
journal of the Society - with the reason, the photograph could be
"something doctored", somehow falsified. He considered the
photograph for a forgery.

However, I was some extent amazed when I saw a German book in a
bookshop in Hamburg, Germany - during a lecture trip - with the
title "Die weisse Pyramide" (The white pyramid), written
by Hartwig Hausdorf, he was until then completely unknown to me. The
book appeared in 1994 and then I found out that Peter Krassa had
made the photograph available to him - without my knowledge.
However, Hartwig Hausdorf mentioned me in his book so the case is
functional. Hartwig Hausdorf was very much strove anyway - and that
was also my aim - for the thing and he has undertaken several China
trips, around the report to go onto the basis. He found several
pyramid mountains in China in fact and he has also published
photographs from that. These were the first real evidence that there
are pyramidal buildings in China exist. The "white
pyramid" could constitute Hausdorf nonetheless not.

Bruce L. Cathie announces many details in its book "The bridge
to Infinity" over pyramids in China and especially over the
"white pyramid" - so too precise coordinate information.
They should be had found north of the contemporary city Sian (Xi´an),
by the foot of the river Wei-ho - exact at 34.26 degrees of northern
width and 108.52 degrees of eastern length. This data were for me
very helpful when I searched in September 2006, with "Google
Earth" over China after the pyramids. This program was in the
last years set up extended from Google into the Internet and one can
recognize phantastic details of the Earth's surface, by means of
satellite consumption - as e.g. too the mysterious lines in the
plain of Nazca. The solution is not in all fields optimally,
nevertheless mostly quite well.

According to some trouble I then kept up after the coordinate
information of Bruce L. Cathie two pyramids. As result, I found
further, more than twenty and bigger pyramids. They are square
earth-pillars, constructed by Chinese craftsmen a long time ago very
obviously. The professional world has therefore improper. There are
indeed pyramids in China! Google Earth confirmed that again. The
biggest one in this area is on 34.23 degrees North and 108.42
degrees East. The opinions diverge via the age of the pyramids. Some
speak of 2500 to 3500 years. The legendary "Emperor of the
prehistoric time" should at that time have been there.

The pyramids are in the province Shaanxi, north of the city Sian (Xi´an).
On the satellite photographs of Google Earth, no "white
pyramid" is to be recognized. Under the coordinates 34.26
degrees of North and 108.52 degrees East, two pyramids are visible,
but however they are not identical to the photo from 1947. The
pyramid lying a little southwest, in my opinion, comes onto 34.22
North most of all and 108.41 East, north of the small city Hsien-yang
into consideration. An arrangement shows similar factors as on the
photograph from 1947: A square plateau, grazes (excavations) on the
sidewalls, similar ones walkways (streets) and in the background, a
small settlement. But that pyramid is definitely not the "white
pyramid".

The Maoling Mausoleum is the burial site of Emperor Wu Di. (Image: China.org)

In
some Internet pages (Chris Maier) and in the homepage of wikipedia,
the Maoling mausoleum is compared with the "white
pyramid". And that is in actual fact correct. Already on former
satellite images which were published in the homepage of
earthquest.co.uk of November 2001, that is to be recognized. With
Google Earth, this pyramid - although at present another with bad
resolution - is it to be seen also. They lies west of the pyramids
of Hsien-yang, close to the city Xianyang, on 30.20 degrees North
and 108.34 degrees East.

The "white pyramid" needs not to be a tremendous mystic
building. The pilots and the travel agents to see the Maoling
mausoleum, with his size - according to the measurements via Google
Earth - of about 222 to 217 meters on the ground and his height of
about 46 meters, can quite have appeared below glistening sunlight
glimmering and quite big. No other pyramid in this area is so big.
Only the one on 34.23 North and 108.42 East, which has a size of 219
to 230 meters on the ground. The well known Shi Huang-ti Mausoleum,
situated 50 kilometers East, has a size of 357 to 354 meters on the
base and the whole complex has a size of 488 to 581 meters. But that
grave mountain is actually a square mound and not a pyramid.
Attainable is the area near Hsien-yang over the city Xi´an (Sian)
obvious the airport that Hartwig Hausdorf with some traveling
companions already used in 1994. They could for instance constitute
seventeen pyramids within a radius of about three kilometers and
they estimated its heights at sixty to seventy meters.

This new 3d image of the Maoling
Mausoleum
shows the same characteristics as the image of 1947.

NEW!!!
This pyramid, of February 2009 by Google Earth, shows again the
wellknown Maoling Mausoleum but in a better solution from GeoEye.
The comparison above shows that is indeed the "white
pyramid".

By the new aperture of China to the west, the corresponding
investigations too would be able to be made amenable now at last for
experts from other countries. For the better sense of China and of
its past.

Like his predecessor, Heinrich Harrer, who
spent seven years in Tibet, Hartwig Hausdorf has ventured,
virtually on foot, over many of the sacred places of the Far
East. But his aim has been not to discover his own soul, but
rather to uncover tell-tale traces of an Alien Mind which
may have passed that way millennia ago, and may be passing
by again. He has sought out the fabled, forbidden 1,000-foot
White Pyramid of Xian.
In so doing, he has stumbled upon the key to the ancient
Chinese dream of material immortality, a dream perhaps
inspired by Alien Mind, and a key hidden in the fabulous,
mercury-filled tomb--chamber of the Emperor Shi Huangdi--a
tomb-chamber the possible excavation of which the Chinese
government has kept secret from the West.

He has unearthed new facts about the
mysterious stone disks of Bayan Kara Ula, which some believe
tell the story of a forced alien landing 12,000 years ago.
And he has discerned, in the prodigious mind-over-matter
techniques of the Tibetans, the Chinese and the Japanese,
the faintest whispers, still audible over the vast gulf of
time, of an awesome encounter which may have taken place on
the sacred peak of Mount Meru at the very beginning of man's
time on earth.

It is full of anecdotes of the author's travels
and contains details that many other history books gloss
over as being too trivial; the result is a richer, fuller
account of many different peoples and places in an
easy-to-read, conversational style. In fact, the book is
almost an historical travel guide. I thought that the reader
who criticised the book as being full of crackpot theories
was being very unfair. Sure, the author comes across as a
bit of a hippie, but so what? Are his opinions any less
valid just because he subscribes to some beliefs that many
others don't share. The only question is whether these
beliefs bias his work. They don't. Read it and enjoy.

These handsome, well-edited books from a Hong
Kong-based publisher cover places few other guidebooks
go.... The writers are particularly well-chosen....Odyssey
fans tend to be adventurous travelers with a literary bent.

Best known today as they site of the magnificent
archaeological treasure of the Terracotta Army of the First
Emperor of China, Xi'an was the ancient capital of China for
four dynasties - some 1,100 years. The outstanding
archaeological and art discoveries in the around the city
tell the tale of China's development from prehistoric times
till the height of the imperial period. Xi'an, or Chang'an
it was formerly known, is also the eastern starting point of
the fabled Silk Road. This profusely illustrated book guides
the reader in a journey through time from the stone-age
Banpo site, through Ming dynasty relics to a bustling
modern-day city. Special essays and carefully selected
literary excerpts provide a counterpoint to the practical
information needed by the visitor.
* Comprehensive guide to the ancient capital of China
* Detailed introduction to outstanding archaeological sites
* Xi'an is the most significant city in the history of China
* Special sections on essential background information
* Thoroughly practical guide
* Excellent color photography
* Literary excepts add to the reader's understanding

Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi Province.
Because of its long history and rich culture, it is famed as
the "museum of nature and history in China". As
the capital of 11 dynasties, it is encircled by a city wall,
dotted with many temples, imperial tombs and gardens, and
proud of its Terracotta Army of Qin Shihuang, the
"Eighth Wonder in the World", leaving a deep
impression on tourists. Color Illustrations.

Captain Bruce Cathie shows how HARMONICS - wave
forms of light - and their interaction and resonance, form
the basis or "matrix" of the universe. Advanced
applications for space travel, "free" energy
production and much more could be developed. An important
book, filled with mathematical data and derivations to back
up his case. He shows examples of how the ancients used this
knowledge to design the Great Pyramid, the world grid
system, and even the basis for the English system of
measurement. He is convinced a secret group is utilizing
this knowledge and purposefully keeping the world ignorant
and backward.

Based upon the impact this kind of advancement
would have on the "profitable" fossil fuel
monopoly, it's hard to argue with him. Carefully written for
both the scientist and the layman, The Bridge To Infinity is
a powerful and important book and ahead of its time. To
those with a scientific background, it's a
"must-read". To those without such a background, I
say READ IT ANYWAY.
